I guess you guys have heard the speculation that any color other than black somehow weakens the polymer? Supposedly, authorities on MagPul magazines say the same thing. I haven't shot mine enough to know, but the proponents of this theory on the several other forums I've read it on make a strong case.
You know, the prototypes of the HK45 and HK45 Compact had frames done in this color. I heard a rumor at the time that the reason the production guns ended up all-black was because of a potential issue with the colored polymer. Again, hearsay.
But it makes you think, eh???
